Category Archives: End of Support

Joomla 3.4 was released yesterday. The new version includes a number of improvements including improved front end module editing. The new version improves security with “Google reCaptcha” and “by implementing UploadShield code which can detect most malicious uploads by examining their filenames and file content”

Support for Joomla 2.5 ended on December 31. Anyone one still using version 2.5 should upgrade to 3.3. We recommend you make a copy of the website and do a test of the upgrade on that before upgrading the live website to Joomla 3.3 due to the serious problems that can occur during and after the upgrade.

Moodle 2.5.9, 2.6.6, 2.7.3, and 2.8 were released yesterday. Version 2.8 introduces “significant improvements to the gradebook, forums, analytics and usability in many areas to empower teachers and improve functionality for everyone across all devices”. Versions 2.6.6 and 2.7.3 include “small improvements”, bug fixes, and security fixes. Version 2.5.9 includes security fixes. Details of the security vulnerabilities fixed will be released later.

The end of support for TYPO3 4.7 and 6.1 has been announced. For those still running those versions it is recommended that they upgrade to TYPO3 6.2, which is scheduled to be supported until March of 2017.

Moodle 2.4.11, 2.5.7, 2.6.4, and 2.7.1 were released today. All of the releases include security fixes and all but 2.4.11 also include bug fixes. Details of the security vulnerabilities fixed will be released later.

Update (July 21, 2014): Moodle has now released information on the security issues fixed in the releases. Among the vulnerabilities fixed is a vulnerability that could lead to remote code execution, several that could allow access to server-side files, and several cross-site script (XSS) vulnerabilities.

Moodle 2.4.11 is the last release for the 2.4 branch and anyone running it should upgrade to a newer, supported, version.

The end of support for TYPO3 6.0 has been announced. While it was scheduled to end in April one additional version, 6.0.14, was released last month. For websites still running 6.0 it is recommend to upgrade to 6.2, which is scheduled to be supported until April of 2017.

Support for TYPO3 4.5 continues until March of 2015 and support for TYPO3 4.7 continues until October.
